Trial for Officer Accused of Amona Violence
The trial of David Edery, a mounted police officer, will continue on Sunday. Edery is accused of running over Yehuda Etzion during a protest in Amona in February of 2006.
Edery claims that he rode through the crowd of protestors at a permitted pace, and that he made efforts to stop when he saw a protestor directly ahead. A video of the incident will be shown in court. In another month, the Organization for Human Rights in Yesha plans to file a plea with the Supreme Court asking that Ederi be removed from duty.
